Chicago’s electronic based rapper Na Palm teamed up with one of the most legendary names in house music, fellow Chicago native, Bad Boy Bill. They also got Sephano and Torio on the track and created a full on Progressive House anthem, “Roam the Night”. Na Palm offers some club ready vocals geared up to set off crowds across the world. He offers a certain gritty Chicago flair with his voice that contrasts most of the angelic, almost feminne sounding male vocals that are found in most house tracks. This is just the start of Na Palm breaking into the bigger electronic world, and Bad Boy Bill is back on everyone’s radar with another huge hit. This track is available through Beatport and is already charting! Help support these talented artists and pick up a copy. Enjoy the premiere off the stream of the full DJ version of the track.

Bass icon Flux Pavillion who has helped establish dubstep released his latest Blow the Roof EP which dares to go outside of his dubstep box. He brings electro house and breaks into the picture, with his own massive twist. This release further estblishes how forward thinking and versatile he is as an artist. Although he let out a good chunk of the release, hearing it all together really gives you the complete story he is trying to tell. We already got to sample The full version of “Do or Die” with Childish Gambino really blew me away and instantly became one of the my favorite from both Flux Pavilion and Childish Gambino . “Double Edge (ft. Sway & P Money)” is Flux’s spin on the breaks style which he proceeds to do a damn good job of it. He brings back “I Can’t Stop”, which was one of his most iconic track for a brand new “I Still Can’t Stop”. It recharges the classic bass hit with the perfect crunchy yet sublte rebirth. Every single track on here is truly remarkable, all working together to form a cohesive project that is easily the most impressive piece of work to date for someone who continues to pave the path for bass music worldwide. Grab a copy through iTunes and Beatport. Also listen to the Minimix that Flux sent over, and watch his live stream happening right now LIVE from 02 in London.

Flux and his team were nice enough to give us a Minimix featuring the entire EP in a quick 8 minute clip to let you sample the whole thing. You can hear a clip of each track mixed by Flux himself. Enjoy!

The philanthropist within the raging electronic world, mr. Justin 3LAU is back with his latest 3LAU HAUS Mix, #10 (Don’t Blink). This high energy mix features 22 tracks mixed seamlessly in a nice 30 minute package. It is basically one big bootleg mashup, with about a new track every minute. As 3LAU says “The goal of these mixes is to create a 30 minute mindfuck, leaving the listener with the reaction “what the fuck did I just listen to” it’s kind of the same strategy I use in my live sets”. He switches to the next track right as you can identify the last one. Enjoy the high speed mix.

Avicii continues his rise to being one the biggest Dj’s in the world and just hit a huge landmark of Three Million fans, and decided to give out a new song for free to honor the occasion. It’s cleverly called Three Million (Your Love Is So Amazing) , and features some vocals from Negin. The follows up his Two Million single that was released after breaking Two Million Facebook fans. It is a standard smooth, feel good house anthem with dramatic builds and epic drops. Turn this up, grab the free download thanks to Avicii, enjoy!

Goldroom is the chilled out electronic project based out of Los Angeles that will leave you feeling sunny. He has been chosen as the next fantastic artist to create an installment for the Solé Fixtape series, which are beach inspired mixed from very dope artists, like the one we featured one from The Knocks. The hour long mix is filled with mixture of chilled out music that will take you to that beach state of mind. It is the perfect mix for doing just about anything. Enjoy!

We first posted The Underachievers with their definitive single “Herb Shuttles” and have just followed it up with another smoke induced video for “The Mahdi”. The lyricism and overall flow of this duo is insane, paired over a dope beat and it’s a chilled out hit. It shows the New York group on the other side of the country. This is a off the groups’ upcoming mixtape Idigoism coming out February 1st. Enjoy!

Conspirator, the 4 piece band fusing live instruments and electronic elements have just released their Unleashed EP. The group features Marc Brownstein and Aron Magner of The Disco Biscuits, guitarist Chris Michetti, and Pendelum tour drummer KJ Sawka. Their live instrument / electronic blend delivers some powerful yet melody driven dubstep bangers that hit hard. The end result of the instruments and heavy bass sounds unlike anything I have ever heard. They have been nice enough to pass us the free download on the project, and it is also available through iTunes. Enjoy!

You may recognize this remix as the starting track in the Krewella – Troll Mix Vol. 2: Road to Ultra, which got debuted on the UMF Radio back to back mix. Well this massive remix of “Killin It” from Stratus takes the song in a trapped out direction with some dubstep elements. Stratus always tends to blur the lines of genres lines with his productions. Regardless what it is specifically, it hits hard. Enjoy the free download and turn it up.

Today we get the first leak off the upcoming Curren$y mixtape New Jet City. “Choosin” brings out Wiz Khalifa and Rick Ross to star load the hazey track. It is signature chilled out Curren$y flow some solid production thanks to Lex Luger.

Zeds Dead continue their strong and steady journey as musical artists and set 2013 off properly with the release of their “Hot Sauce EP”. It is easily their most daring to project to date and Diplo’s incredibly versatile Mad Decent record label couldn’t be a more fitting home to release this genre-venturing project from the Canadian duo.

Starting off the ride is “Demons”, acting as the perfect transition from the past Zeds Dead sound they are known for to the new foreign styles contained on the EP. It is an incredibly slow paced brutal banger filled with piercing spine rattling drops and retro horror samples. Next up “Mr. Sub” takes us down a refreshing techy jungle ride that is a complete 180’ in overall mood. This song, which is named after the group’s home country’s sandwich chain, provides a great stepping-stone towards the rest of the EP. “Playa” is floor shaking, siren packed, rage filled inducing rave anthem that sounds unlike anything I have ever heard. Next up is the cleverly named “Rave”, featuring a revamped breakbeats track giving a tribute to the music that filled the UK rave scene. It let’s you get lost in the engulfing breaks while still carrying out the Zeds Dead flavor you crave. The closing track “Trouble” has the duo go back to the gritty slow paced glitch-hop sound they perfected on their past EP featuring Omar LinX, Victor. The song revolves around a simple infectious piano line and drumbeat that is a slow yet powerful way to end the bold release.

All in all, the EP takes some huge risks, defying most of what is getting released right now. These are the bold signs of true artists who are leading the way, and not following the trends. You can listen to the EP below, and purchase it through through Beatport and iTunes. Enjoy.

Here is an artist that we haven’t featured much of, the talented Halifax native, Ryan Hemsworth. He is another young producer who is making some incredible material. This song “BasedWorld” was given out for free to kick off 2013, and that it did. It has a smooth chilled out minimalistic feel, yet still conveys the fresh flair of trap. The song subtlety builds up further and futher as the songs progresses, leading to claps that have seeemed more climatic.It is safe to say Ryan gets where music is music. Enjoy the free download.
